Corner  Stone  of  Confederate  Monument 

Laid  Monday,  May  10th,  1909,  with 

Impressive  Ceremony. 


Bv  Fraxx   iNI.   PiXNix. 

In  spite  of  the  inclemency  of  the  weather,  the  cere- 
monies incident  to  tlie  laying  of  the  comer  stone  of  the 
nionnnient  to  the  Old  Sokliers  and  Sailors  of  the  Con- 
federacy was  an  entire  snccess.  The  morning  of  the 
tenth  was  gloomy  and  Ijlack  with  rain  and  rain  clonds, 
there  heing  no  prospect  of  any  sort  of  decent  weather  np 
to  ten  o'clock.  Bnt  the  Old  \'ets  were  here,  abont  a 
hundred  and  fifty  of  them,  as  chipper  and  spry  as  young 
bloods,  and  many  people  from  the  surrounding  country. 

General  B.  S.  Royster,  the  chief  marshal,  and  his  com- 
petent assistants,  had  the  parade  in  orderly  precision 
and  the  procession  was  most  imposing  and  well  worth 
seeing. 

At  ten  o'clock  the  Granville  Grays,  Capt.  J.  Robt. 
Wood  commanding,  and  the  Horner  Cadets,  ]\Iajor 
McGhee,  all  under  the  order  of  the  chief  marshal, 
marched  down  to  the  .Southern  depot  and  there  met  the 
guests  of  honor,  M,ijor-(Teneral  Julian  S.  Carr,  of  Dur- 
ham, and  Mr.  Samuel  H.  Gattis,  of  Hillsboro,  and  the 
Rev.  A.  D.  Betts,  who  were  immediately  upon  arri\al 
driven  to  the  K.xchange  Hotel. 

Just  before  noon,  as  the  weather  seemed  to  be  bright- 
ening somewhat,  the  procession  was  formed  on  West 
Hillsboro  street,  the  Third  Regiment  band  leading  next 
to  the  marshals.     The   cadets  and   the   local  company, 


4 
each  organization  having  iL<  ranks  I'uU,  and  iho-e  great 
fild  fe!li.>\\-;  who  received  cheer  at  ter  cheer  a<  they  saucil>- 
ga\e  the  rchel  yelL  In  the  hne  tolI(_>\\ing  the.-e  old 
soldiers  \vere  many  ])ri\ale  turnout^,  in  v>'luch  rode  the 
\vi\es  and  relatives  ol  ihe  most  jironiinent  }ieo])le. 

As  the  jirocession  was  formed  the  carri.ige  con\eying 
("Tcneral  Carr,  the  Re\-.  A.  L).  Betts,  and  Mrs.  W.  H. 
While  was  pnt  in  Ihe  lead,  and  the  long  line  passed 
tlirongh  what  w.ss,  cmsidering  the  bad  weather,  an 
enormous  crowd,  a  chapter  I'rom  the  Orphan  A^_\luni 
being  lined  uj)  along  the  whole  of  Main  street  from  its 
intersection  with  College  d(;wn  pa-t  H.iunltcm's  drug 
store.  Troops  (jf  children  were  clustered  arourid  the 
foundation  of  the  monument.  The  ]'>age,uit  parsed  the 
monument  site  , at  Hdlsboro  and  Main  and  pa:-~ed  down 
r\Iain  to  Gilliam  street,  ar.iund  to  Spring  street  and 
thence  u.p  Main  to  the  Court  H<.n  e. 

The  Hon  S.  M.  Ciattis,  of  Hiilsboro,  Grand  ?ilaster, 
with  the  Grrand  Lodge  of  Ma-ons,  laid  the  cc)rner  stone 
of  the  monument  with  a  most  impressixe  and  imj)  s  ng 
ceremony. 

Following  this,  the  \-eterans  leading  the  way,  the 
people  went  into  the  Court  House  and  filled  e\ery  seat- 
ing space,  there  to  hear  the  beaniiful  introductory 
-Speeches,  the  music,  and  the  magnificent  eflorl  of 
v.euerai  J'lrr,  which  elicited  ]:)raise  and  admiration  from 
ex'erv  quarter.  The  Old  Soldiers  were  gi\-en  seats  of 
honor  in  the  bar.  and  lliat  being  inadtcjuate,  the_\-  were 
assigne.l  the  best  places  ju<t  o\itside  of  the  b.ir. 

At  the  conclusion  of  the  exercises  these  grand  old 
fellows  were  carried  (k)wn  to  the  grand  jury  room,  where 
they  were  gi\-en  a  good  rejiast.

The  address  of  General  Carr  on  Monday  was  a  very 
fine  effort,  and  was  greath-  pleasing  to  the  big  audience 
that  greeted  him  in  the  court  house. 

The  general  is  a  prfnie  favorite,  not  only  with  the 
public  in  general,  but  he  is  greatly  beloveil  by  his  old 
comrades.  He  was  in  especially  fine  mettle  on  the  loth, 
and  makes  a  handsome  and  martial  appearance  in  the 
uniform  of  his  rank,  major-general  in  command  of  the 
North  Carolina  Division  of  Confederate  Veterans. 

General  Carr  is  very  proud  of  his  Granville  connec- 
tions and  never  loses  an  opportunity  to  speak  a  good 
word  for  this  county. 

His  war  career,  he  says,  began  in  this  county,  and 
ended  here.  He  suffered  the  disadvantages  as  did 
most  of  our  returned  soldiers,  but  his  fine  qualities  won 
for  him  a  warm  place  among  the  people  and  his  business 
sagacity  a  front  place  in  the  ranks  of  financiers. 

Confederate  Monument  Dedication. 


By  ED^vARD  I^.  Conn. 

Oxford,  N.  C,  Oct.  30,  1909.— "The  dark  days  of 
Reconstruction  found  no  scalawag  among  the  women  of 
the  South,"  declared  Governor  William  Walton  Kitchin 
here  today  in  a  Confederate  oration  that  many  of  his 
hearers,  among  whom  were  prominent  educators  and 
jurists,  assert  has  never  been  surpassed.  The  occasion 
was  the  dedication  of  a  granite  and  bronze  monument  to 
the  citizen  soldiery  of  Granville  County,  the  event  hav- 
ing been   made  possible  by  the  patriotic  labors  of   the 


iiieinbers  (_il  the  (Vruiu  ille  (.Trays  Cluqiler  (.)f  IIil-  rnitcd 
Daughters  oi  the  Confeileracy.  l'"i\e  thousand  souls  was 
tlie  niininuun  estimate  placed  u])on  the  great  slathering; 
fulh'  that  nianv  witnessed  the  eluqueiit  ceremonies,  and 
C)\er  a  thousand  others,  uuahle  to  gel  in  hearing  distance 
ol  the  orators,  scatteretl  among  the  Ijeflagged  streets  of 
the  city. 

The  saffron  banners  of  the  rising  sun  heralded  a 
cloudless  and  temperate  day.  With  the  dawn  the 
countrv-side  l)eg,in  to  mo\  e  upon  the  citv.  The  streets 
■svere  tilled  for  hours  liefore  the  arrixal  of  the  train  with 
Go\-ernor  Kitchin.  At  ii  c>'clock  the  Chief  Kxecuti\'e 
ar.d  honored  guests  were  met  at  the  Southern  station  by 
the  city  officials,  the  distinguished  citizens  of  Oxford 
and  the  Daughters  of  the  Con  federac_\-.  The  spectacidar 
parade  formed  at  the  depot,  moving  up  Penn  a\-enue  to 
College  street,  thence  to  Hillsboro  street,  to  (T^illiam,  to 
Front,  to  Main  and  back  to  the  confluence  of  Hillsboro 
and  Main  streets,  where  the  stately  shaft,  upon  which 
will  stand  the  statue  of  a  Confeilerate  warrior  at  "Ready!" 
— gun  in  hand,  e\-e  on  the  enemy — will  be  forever  an  in- 
spiration to  the  youth  of  (Tranville  and  a  perpetual  re- 
minder to  numhood  and  womanhood  of  the  heroism, 
fortitude  and  faithfulness  to  duty  of  their  sires. 

Heading  tlie  grand  procession,  the  Third  Regiment 
Band,  stirring  the  flesh  with  thrills  of  martial  nmsic ; 
following,  a  dashing  array  of  nuirshals,  and  after  these 
one  hundred  and  eleven  of  the  vSouthern  immortals,  a 
Time  and  Battle-W'orn  remnant  of  the  world's  noblest 
army,  comprising  half  the  number  living  of  the  daunt- 
less 2,100  who  offered  themselves  up  as  a  sacrifice  for 
their  country.     Soldiers  of  the    future  contests  of   the 


mart  .uid  forum,  and  ol  w.ir  if  need  l)e,  followed  the  ser- 
ried ranks  of  \'elerans,  the  l-.attalion  of  Horner'.s  Military 
School,  every  one  a  manly  man  ;  after  these  the  (iran- 
ville  Grays,  under  Capt.  J.  Robt.  Wood,  gallant-looking 
successors  to  the  patriots  who  covered  the  name  of  their 
company  with  glor^-.  After  the  military  a  great  line  of 
carriages,  the  first  containing  Governor  and  ."Mrs.  Kitchin. 
Capt.  and  Mrs.  W.  H.  White,  and  after  these  th?  Oxford 
Fire  Department,  with  its  splendid  equipment,  and  gaily 
decorated  floats.  On  the  float  of  Capt.  J.  Robt.  Wood 
was  tlisplayed  a  portrait  of  Capt.  Augustus  Landis,  \\ho 
commanded  the  famous  Granville  Grays  during  the 
Civil  War. 

To  General  B.  S.  Royster,  chief  marshal  of  the  dedica- 
tion, is  due  the  credit  for  the  perfect  march,  without  the 
loss  of  a  moment  or  an  untoward  e\ent. 

The  line  of  march  was  flanked  by  thousands  of  Ijeauti- 
ful  women  and  handsome  men,  and  as  many  of  Ciod's 
sweetest  smiles  —  numberless  happy-faced  children. 
None  were  more  attracti\e,  none  presented  a  finer  ap- 
pearance than  the  several  hundred  orphans  under  the 
guardianship  of  the  Masons  of  North  Carolina.  Neither 
was  anything  lovelier  than  the  hundreds  of  young 
women  of  Oxford  Seminary,  and  no  braver  front  could 
be  presented  than  that  of  the  cadets  of  Horner  military 
Academy.  The  State  does  not  hold  a  more  contented 
and  progressive  citizenry  than  the  inhabitants  of  Gran- 
ville. The  country  v»as  enfolded  in  the  liberal  and  hos- 
pitable arms  of  Oxford.  Its  men  and  women  showed 
that  red  blood  ran  through  them;  thej  were  well  dressed, 
of  excellent  manners  and  are  people  of  a  high  order  of 
intelligence.

These  were  to  luwe  formed  the  \-eil  of  tiie  ni  Minment. 
Miss  Angnsta  Lindis,  younge-t  daughter  of  Capt.  Au-

The  exercises  commenced  at  noon. 

The  inxocation  was  pronounced  l)y  a  \enerable  father 
in  Israel,  Rev.  J.  A.  Stradley,  an  ancient  Baptist  di\ine, 
who  served  through  the  entire  War.  He  called  the 
blessings  of  Jehovali  on  the  gray  hairs,  bended  forms

Mountain,  and  fell  at  tlie  head  of  his  men  near  the  close 
of  the  h.dlle.  The  Lei;islatnre  haxiu^  implicit  coiifi- 
tlence  in  his  intet^ritv  and  honesty,  passed  a  joint  reso- 
Intion   declinmii   to   re(]uire   his   executors  to  render  an_V 


ricconiit  of  the  diisposition  of  what,  in  that  day,  \\as  ;i 
\'ast  sum  of  money,  becaii-^e  thev  wore  tully  satisfied  it 
had  l)een  expended  as  intended  by  them. 

And  she  contributed  her  full  quola  of  men  to  General 
Greene,  at  the  battle  of  Guilforil  Court  House,  which 
did  so  nuich  to  Crij)i:)le  L,ord  Cornwallis  and  lead  to  Ids 
downfall  at  Yorktown. 

So  in  the  war  of  1S12,  in  the  ^lexican  War,  and  in  the 
War  for  Texan  Independence,  the  men  of  Granville  did 
their  full  duty.  Ihit  it  was  in  the  war  between  the 
States,  from  1861  to  1865,  that  the  sons  of  Gran  ville  ga\e 
the  greatest  evidence  of  the  heroic  mould  in  which  they 
were  cast.  In  de\-otion  to  principle,  da-h  and  g;d!antry 
in  action,  patient  endurance  and  sacrifice,  the  men  ol 
(Tran\-ille  were  excelled  by  none.  With  not  more  than 
1,800  \-oters,  she  contri'ouled  more  than  2,ioj  soldiers  to 
the  gigantic  ct^nfiict.  And  of  the  75  regiments  trcju) 
North  Carolina,  Gran\-ille  lia<l  troops  m  more  tlian  35  of 
them.  And  in  the  navy,  too,  she  had  many  representa- 
tives ;  and  we  see  among  us  to-day  three  at  least  of  those 
who  served  so  \\ell  on  L-oth  land  and  sea,  James  M.  Cnr- 
rin,  Robert  T.  Crews,  and  that  old  hero  of  the  far-famed 
Merrimac,  Henry  H.  Howard,  no  less  useUd  m  ci\il  lite 
than  intrepid  in  war.  And  there  was  h.ardly  a  conllict 
in  Carolina,  Virginia,  Maryland,  or  Pennsylvania  where 
the  ground  was  not  enriched  by  the  blood  ot  the  soldier 
from  Gran\'iHe. 

I  wish  I  had  the  time  to  give  yon  something  of  the 
history  of  these  gallant  sons,  and  recount  the  deeds  of 
valor  they  perforn.ied — how  they  fought  and  fell.  Would

And  he  was  so  iiersistent  that  finally  he  was  permitted 
to   take   his   f.Uher's   ])lace.      What   a   gallant   soldier   he 


iiKule,  let  his  comrades  testify.  At  the  battle  of  South 
Anna  liriilge.  on  July  2b,  1863,  Col.  Hargrove,  wiih 
C  ).  A,  b2  men,  and  15  men  from  ^laj.  Bingham's  Com- 
pany from  Orange,  suecessfnlly  le-isted  for  four  hours 
the  assault  of  Col.  v^pears  with  i5(JO  U.  S.  ca\•alr^•. 
When  at  la-t  thev  were  overpowered,  a  strapping  ser- 
geant charged  up  to  ]oe,  c  dling  "surrender  !  surren- 
der!" Joe's  only  reply  was  to  run  him  through  with 
his  bayonet.  Tiien  Col.  Spe.irs  himself  demande  1  his 
surrender.  Joe  turned  and  saw  Col.  Hargrove  still 
fighting,  and  his  reply  to  Col.  vSpears  was,  "ril  ne\er 
surrendir  until  my  own  colonel  tells  me,"  and  with  that 
he  m.ide  for  Col.  Spears  with  his  bayonet,  when  he  was 
shot  down. 

But,  my  friends,  howe\-er  alluring  the  theme  of  the 
bra\-ery  of  the  sons  of  Granville,  I  am  admoni>hed  I 
must  de-ist.  That  is  not  my  prominence  to-day.  To 
others  has  been  alloted  that  pleasant  task. 

To-day  you  behold  the  fruition  of  the  hopes,  the  prayers 
and  the  ceaseless  endea\orof  the  noble  band  of  daughters 
of  Granxille,  wdio  for  five  long  }-ears  have  struggled  to 
perpetuate  in  ende.iring  stone,  the  memory  of  the  deetls 
of  valor  of  their  love  1  ones,  and  the  principles  of  the 
ca  'se  for  which  they  foaglit  and  fell.  You  will  see  on 
this  ground  that  eulogy  in  stone  and  be  enchanted  by 
its  S3un metrical  proportions  and  the  grace  of  its  outlines. 
But,  li3w  few  can  realize  the  labor,  the  anxiety,  the 
patriotic  courage  and  devotion  it  represents.  It  is  truly 
a  labor  of  love.  It  is  the  incarnation  of  the  spirit  of 
those  mothers,  sisters  antl  sweethearts,  who  made  possi- 
ble tho:;e  glorious  deeds  of  the  Confederate  soldier  of 
iSSi  to  1865.

Address  of  Acceptance  by  D.  G.  Brummitt. 

JuDGK  Graham : 

In  tlie  name  ami  behalf  of  the  people  of  this  town  and 
county,  I  receive  from  yoxir  hands  this  monument  to 
Granville's  heroic  living  and  dead.  Though  unfinished 
we  ha\  e  no  hesitancv  in  accepting  it,  for  \vc  know  that 
those  who  had  the  lovaltv  and  dex'otion  to  plan  luue  the 
courage  to  complete  it.  Would  that  I  might  in  fitting 
words  tell  you  and  these  devoted  women  whom  von 
represent  and  for  whom  you  speak,  of  the  love  of  Gran- 
ville's people  for  those  v\diose  tleeds  this  structure  com- 
memorates !  But  in  the  simple  dignity  of  an  occasion 
such  as  this,  in  the  awc-ome  thought  of  valor  such  as 
theirs,  mere  words  sink  into  that  insignificance  which 
they  ofttimes  deserve.  Would,  too,  tliat  the  brave  and 
loved  dead  might  know  of  the  honor  done  them  this  dav  ! 
Let  us  believe  that  l]\ey  do  ;  let  us  believe  that  from  that 
Peaceful,  Plentiful  L,and  the  starved  and  fighting  dead 
of  other  years  look  down,  and  see  not  onl}-  this  monu- 
ment but  with  a  cleared  and  lengthened  vision  see  the 
heart-reverence  we  do  them  and  their  comrades  here 
to-day. 

I  fear  that  too  often  we  are  tempted  "to  praise  ourselves 
in  the  name  of  our  State,"  too  often  we  garland  the  head 
of  our  country  thereby  meaning  our  own.  Urt  a  eulogy 
of  the  Confederate  soUlier  cannot  be  so  regardeil.  The 
voice  of  the  combined  world  unites  in  gi\-ing  to  the 
soldiers  of  the  Lost  Cause  a  meed  of  praise  equal  to  that 
given  the  hardened  legions  of  Csesar,  or  the  enthusiastic 
followers  of  the  great  Napoleon.     Not  the  least  brave  of

xeterans  who  for  four  long  ye.irs  carried  the  fortunes  of 
the  Confeder,ic\-  on  the  ])tiints  of  your  hayonets;  yon  to 
whom  the  hitter  memories  auil  unhirgelahle  sufferings 
of  that  dread  time  are  still  Iresh  an<l  strong  will  hardly 
again  gather  to  see  a  monument  nn\eiled,.  F.ven  the 
children  of  that  time  now  find  their  faces  turneil  toward 
the  setting  sun. 

Hut  this  m  Miuiiunt  to  the  Confeder.ile  soldier  will  last 
beyond  vonr  li\-es.  Standing  here  at  the  head  of  our 
princi])al  street,  where  the  busy  tiiles  of  our  life  el)b  back

soldier  ilead.  Tlie  busy  man  of  affairs  may  in  after  years 
be  here  reiuin-ded  of  the  glories  of  his  race.  The  unlet- 
tered and  the  nnle.irned  may  from  the  legible  character

tuture  time  ma\-  from  this  lieroic  figure  l)reath.e  the  spirit 
of  their  fathers  and  meet  their  problem  as  did  the  men 
of  'b:. 

Daughters  of  the  Confederacy!  Well  and  good  it  is 
toi'  all  these  reasons  that  _\ou  ha\e  reared  this  struciure, 
this  monume  it  to  the  distant  dead  of  ours  who  sleep  in 
graves,  unknown,  unmarked  ;  to  those  who  died  where 
quenchless  thirst  and  rain  and  snow  kept  ward  and  watch 
lieside  their  earthen  couch  of  death  ;  to  the  maimed  and 
torn  whose  battered  bodies  gi\e  their  modestv  a  \oice  ; 
to  those  who  came  back  from  liattle  and  w'0\-e  the  fair 
garments  ot  our  prosperit}  from  the  rags  of  their  defeat  ; 
to  all  the  dead  who  so  died  and  to  all  the  li\'iiig  who  so 
fonght. 

Tuat  you  have  taken  it  upon  yourseh'es  to  do  this 
work  means  that  this  struciure  is  something  more  than 
a.memorial  to  our  immortal  dead.  Tribute  th(^ugli  it  is 
to  those  who  fought  in  the  fielil,  I  shall  like  to  think  of 
it  as  equal  tribute  to  those  who  suffered  at  home  ;  to  the 
womanhooil  of  Gran\-ille  County,  ]iast  and  present ;  to 
her  who  sent  her  lord  and  master  fortli  to  battle  and  to 
death  ;  to  her  who  ga>  e  her  fair,  fresh  son  to  feed  the 
northern  cannon  ;  to  her  who  sent  her  loved  and  best  to 
the  bridal-bed  of  death  ;  to  3c  u  and  all.  Daughters  of  an 
heroic  Mother,  who  by  your  exertions  ha\-e  made  this 
structure  a  possibility  and  a  reality  :  to  you  their  I'resi- 
dent,  most  of  all,  wdiose  seal  and  devotion  through  all 
the  difficulties  and  discouragements  wiiicli  lia\'e  beset

hearts  of  the  multitude,  swayed  by  one  insjnration, 
responded  to  the  surpassing  ekinnence  oi  (Tovernor 
Kitchin.  He  uuide  them  weep,  hut  he  did  not  make 
Ihem  laugh.  A  facetious  remark  or  an  humorous  anec- 
dote among  his  profound  utterances  would  liaxe  been  as 
out  of  place  as  a  dance  among  the  dead.  He  s]X)ke  as 
one  who  has  a  message  to  deliver,  and  he   delivered  it 


19 
with  a  mastery  of  speech,  a  convincing  force  and  a 
greatness  of  thought  that  he'd  for  an  hour  and  a  quarter 
every  listener  ppelUbound.  It  was  th.e  greatest  tribute 
to  his  strength  as  a  speaker  and  ehjquence  as  an  orator 
that  not  one  person  left  until  he  concluded  his  address. 

Lack  of  space  forbids  a  complete  reproduction  of  his 
v>-ords,  or  even  a,n  appreciable  sunr.narv  ot  his  address. 
He  reviewed  in  a  new  light  that  was  like  a  re\-elation 
the  causes  of  the  war,  the  events  that  precipitated  it,  the 
niightv  fratriciilal  struggle,  the  dark  era  of  Recon.nruc- 
lion  made  luminous  by  the  same  heroes  of  '6i-'65,  and 
the  glorious  achievemer,ls  of  the  renascent  South.  His 
tributes  to  the  veterans,  to  the  Soulhern  women  of  the 
war,  and  to  the  character  of  Robert  E.  Lee,  shone  like 
stars.  When  the  Southern  soldier,  he  said,  left  the 
theater  of  war  he  entered  one  to  play,  if  possible,  a  more 
important  part.  He  had  lost  in  the  conflict  and  returned 
to  his  home  which  the  rnlliless  hand  of  war  had  touched 
and  left  desolate.  He  ■>\a-  determined  to  rclmild  the 
shattered  fortunes  of  the  Soiitli,  to  reclaim  the  wasted 
fields,  to  reopen  the  schools,  to  tiH  the  churches.  He 
encountered  a  tiile  of  crime  and  destruction  m  North 
Carolina  such  as  history  had  never  before  knov>n.  ^Lmy 
leaders  were  deprived  of  their  cilizen-hip  by  the  Federal 
Government,  "but  they  found  they  could  not  deprive 
them  of  their  leadership."  The  Federal  C.TOvernment 
controlled  by  insatiable  malice  and  bigotry,  and  by 
duress,  by  fraud  and.  corruption  the  Constitution  was 
amended  to  accomplish  the  impossible  racial  equality. 
Tiie  confederate  in  those  ilays,  he  said,  was  a  pillar  of 
fire  by  night  ami  a  pillar  of  cloud  by  day.  The  day  of 
the    scalawag   and    the   carpet-bagger   came,    spreading

was  that  the  court-  had  charge  oi  that  r.ialter.  Some  of 
the  ])ri,-oner-  were  taken  to  Sali-hnry,  where  they  were 
released,  and  that  dav  the  power  ot  Holdeii  and  Kirk 
rccei\cd  its  death  knell. 

(Ttivernor  Kilchin  >aid  he  was  glad  th.e  leaders  in  war 
had  heccime  the  le.iders  in  jieace.  He  liojied  to  see  the 
pensions  of  the  \elerans  increased,  so  that  they  might 
recei\e  every  ccimlort  and  care  m  the  power  ot  the  State 
to  hestow  upon  them. 

The  Governor's  Irihiite  to  Southern  women,  couched 
in  a  thousand  golden  words,  melteii  the  heart  of  e\  er}-- 
one.  In  concluding  it  he  said  that  -uinetimcs  a  South.ern 
man  would  turn  b.ick  ,\iid  pro',  e  traitor,  hut  ne\-er  in  all 
those  days  of  war  and  the  d.iys  that  followed  tlid  a 
Southern  woman  turn  her  hack  on  SoiUhern  sentiment. 
He  declared  he  '.vi-h.edi  to  ,^ee  some  day  a  marhle  monu- 
ment ra.ised  to  Southern  women,  liearing  upon  it  this 
inscri])tion  :  "The  dark  days  (A  Reconstruction  found  no 
scalawag  among  the  women  o|  the  South." 


Hi'^  trilnite  to  the  white  race  was  erjually  strong.  He 
ileehired  he  would  not  tresj^a-s  upon  the  I'eeHngs  of  a 
colored  man,  and  spoke  in  kinilness,  but  in  truth.  This 
proud  race,  to  which  the  Confederate  \'eteran  belongs, 
has  encountered  man}-  obstacles  in  its  upward  march  ; 
it  has  encountered  other  races,  but  its  superiority  has 
ever  been  demonstrated  under  anything  like  fair  cir- 
cuni.stances.  He  told  what  the  race  had  accomplished, 
after  contact  with  the  races  of  e\-ery  other  color,  no  race 
ever  being  al)le  to  impede  the  onward  march  of  the 
white  race.  He  was  glad  many  of  the  \eterans  had 
lived  to  see  the  day  -'when  the  workl  is  beginning  to 
appreciate  that  it  is  not  in  the  power  of  all  the  armies 
e\-er  drilled  or  an}-  constitntion  ever  written  to  make  the 
white  man  and  the  black  equal  on  this  earth."  vSo  long 
as  the  descendants  of  the  Confederate  \-eterans  control 
the  destinies  of  the  land  they  will  be  controlled  in 
peace. 

In  conclusic)n.  Governor  Kitchiu  called  npon  all  to 
love  the  Union  now  as  the  Confederates  lox'ed  the  Con- 
fetleracy  in  '6i-'65,  to  ser\e  the  Union  now  as  they  served 
the  Confederac}-  then,  having  nothing  to  apologize  for, 
nothing  to  retract,  but  recei\  ing  inspiration  for  a  heri- 
tage of  inexhaustible  glory  from  the  fane=:t  soldiers  e\-er 
seen  on  the  planet. 

The  old  .soldiers  gave  the  Go\'ernor  three  cheers,  end- 
ing with  the  stirring  rebel  yell,  after  which  the  band 
struck  up  "Dixie  '  and  the  assemblage  dispersed,  the 
old  \eterans  "to  the  rear'  for  a  dinner  ser\-ed  them  at 
the  courthouse  by  the  Daughters  of  the  Confederacy. 

At  2:30  o  clock  the  comrades  of  '6i-'65  gathered  at 
the  junction  of  Hillsboro  and  ^luin  streets,  where  Com-
